Continuing the weekend trend of retiring players with Red Sox connections, Mike Cameron ended his playing career today. The 39-year-old's 17-year career finishes with a .249 average, 278 HRs and 968 RBIs. His one year with Boston was a dismal failure, riddled with injuries and lack of performance. On top of everything, his take-over in center field moved Jacoby Ellsbury to left—where he suffered a devastating rib injury in a collision with Adrian Beltre. Cameron (pictured here last year with a young Red Sox fan) was always a class individual and a positive force in every one of the eight clubhouses he played in.
